The Official Dylan Brown thread

[Gronk]

The average RL NRL player would be 6ft1 and 100kg.

Thurston was only 5'10" & 87 kegs

Why are you nuffies using imperial measurement for height but metric for weight?

It’s easier to visualise and estimate

If Brown turns out to be half as useful as Thurston with the ball whilst being a turnstile I will stand corrected. Thing is, I reckon if Thurston was starting his career now he wouldnt make it either.

I'm not arguing either way, but the words of an 18 year old kid talking about money and "body language"?

Eels fans do love to find drama.

It looks like his manager has told him to keep a lid on his comments around his future and contract negotiations. From their point of view they don’t want to be locked in for several years on unders.

And from our point of view we don’t want to be paying him overs for several years. There’s a lot of uncertainty.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

6ft is pretty small these days. You've got to tackle guys that are a lot bigger than that. 25 times a game.

Hopefully not by yourself

A lot of the height measurements are exaggerated on the websites.

 

[Gronk]

Well the Broncos signed Payne Hass for 6 years x $500k.

Newcastle signed Kaylyn Ponga for 4 years x $600k.

Warriors offered him $2.7m over 5 years or $540k

How much does the little merkin think he's worth ?

Everyone exaggerates their size

Firstly, that's a rubbish guess.

Secondly, totally irrelevant when talking about five-eighths.

Anthony Milford 177cm, 92kg (and overweight)
Jack Wighton 189cm, 93kg (and he's a fill in)
Lachlan Lewis 191cm, 90kg
Shaun Johnson 179cm, 91kg
Tyrone Roberts 175cm, 89kg
Kane Elgey 180cm, 88kg
Cameron Munster 185cm, 89kg
Kalyn Ponga 184cm, 92kg
Te Maire Martin 181cm, 87kg
Dylan Brown 183cm, 85kg
James Maloney 176cm, 83kg
Cody Walker 179cm, 85kg
Corey Norman 185cm, 96kg
Luke Keary 178cm, 82kg
Adam Keighran 183cm, 91kg
Benji Marshall 182cm, 91kg

7 players over 6 foot, including Brown. Only one within 5kg of 100kg.

Not to mention that, at 18 and still growing, Brown is already bigger than the NSW five-eighth and last years premiership winning five-eighth. He's also not far off the QLD five-eighth.

In conclusion, U R Dum

Re the above. I don't believe any of those numbers.

 

[T-Boon]

Anyway we have got Dylan for this year so if he produces the goods then lets show him the money and if its not enough then whats new.

I thought he was very average in the first half last week and excellent in the second.

Girth is a back up.

A solid back up at that

We’ve got him next year as well.

Lol. Of course you don't

 

[T-Boon]

Lol. Of course you don't

Why would I when you have a record of making things up. As far as I know.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I can't deal with all the drama, just f**k him off now!
